Help with starting city...

[E.Diessner 0]

I wan't to start a CJ but I need some help making an eye pleasing city...

Here some problems I've been having:

1.Industry.

When I make a city I want to have the instustries included in the city (I don't like working on several cities at once)...

But Industries always makes my city look bad because of the repetitive buildings and the polution.

2. Highways.

I want to add small highways ( two lane or three lane) but I can't find a download.

3. Floura.

I want to add some nice trees, flowers ect. but I can't find them.

4.Railroads.

I have no idea how to get high traffic on railways or use them commonly.

If anyone can help me I would apreciate it.

 Ok,

1. You should look around the STEX, download anything you like.

I would suggest looking for warehouses too, lotza warehouses, THERE EVERYWHERE!!

Also look on SC4Devotion, you will have to sign up to both the site and the "LEX" (the downloady bit), i would say that this has more in the way of buildings. (also the download speeds are fantastic)

Another thing, you may want top add a custom Seaport in the future. In that case join SimPEG, its run by the one we all know and trust, Pegasus. On his PLEX(yes another funny name) There is loads of top noch stuff, he's real talented at what he does. He should be a games designer. Anyhoo, there are a load of good seaports and stuff on there. Worth a look.

2. What you are looking for my friend is the RHWproject (Rural Highway Project) It is fantastic.

3.Again look around the STEX and LEX. Use creative searches like a specific tree.

4. Try the radical ordinance mod In that you can choose to make people all take mass transit (that can be included in your Cj like, FUEL PRICES SKYROCKET IN *********)

Another thing, if you dont have NAM, GET IT NOW!!!   Its so great it needs no explination (PC      MAC)

Hope this helps!!!

And feel free to PM me whenever you want to ask a question. (always happy to help)

There are some lots that reduce air pollution. There a also some for water. There are also mods that reduce/remove pollution.

In regards to repetitive structures I suggest taking some hours and wandering through the STEX.

Linky to industry bats/lots sorted by popularity.

2. Highways.

The STEX to the rescue again! NAM Rural Highway Mod (not sure this is the latest).

3. Floura.

Here is a link to parks and recreation on the STEX sorted by popularity.

4.Railroads.

May I suggest  the NAM June 2009 when installing it will allow you to choose a traffic controler, any of the options are superior to the default Maxis one.

I strongly urge you to spend some hours(days?) wandering around simtropolis and becoming familiar with the site and how to search for things. You'll find years of excellent material for building many things. At the end of those days when you can't find exactly what you would like there are numerous topics and tutorials on how to create your own lots and bats.
